Storing Curry Leaves

I use curry leaves a lot. Its one of the main ingredients found in Maldivian cooking. In the market its usually sold in big bunches so once I buy it I have to find ways to store it so it stays for longer periods of time.Method 1.

Pull the leaves off its step, just hold at the end of the sprig and pull towards the tip of the sprigs, the leaves will pull off easily.
Wash well and spread on a towel or kitchen paper and leave to dry .
Once dry store in a clean dry glass bottle , dont back too tight.
Will keep well for 2 weeks.

Method 2.

Clean and dry the leaves as mentioned in method 1.
Once dry, take a zip lock freezer bag , size depends on how much leaves you have. Store the leaves in the bag, loosely and place flat are in the freezer.

Once the leaves are frozen you can store it neatly in any area of the freezer. Can be store like this for months.
